Regardless, Biden and the Dems could not be happier because DeSantis was the biggest threat to Biden getting a second term.

how can you say that if he can't even win a primary?

---

Do you not understand the difference between republican primary voters in Iowa versus the general do election where everyone votes?

---

Do you understand that if Desantis couldn't persuade gop voters he wasn't getting the crossover vote?

---

No, I don't because that's completely illogical. Persuading a MAGA wing is nowhere near the same as peeling off true swing voters.

---

Ok so Ron doesn't appeal to GOP voters but he will swing voters? ok dude

---

He appeals to GOP voters immensely, it's just bad timing. Some of us recognize that there's a culture war to be won first and Trump is better suited to fight it. Once the culture war is won, policy masters such as DeSantis will be needed more. Having DeSantis over the Senate (VP) makes Trump/DeSantis a dream team.

---

So Trump will tell Jenner stop using the ladies restroom and go to the men's room where he belongs?

---

He'll position it as a states rights issue as it should be. You know, use the constitution as it's intended.

lol I saw my candidate win a presidential election in 2016 and you? I also know the coveted swing vote is not really that big and is generally overstated, most people know who they are voting when they walk in the booth.

---

Cool. What happened with those swing voters in 2020 after they got 4 years of Trump's clown show?

You mean the most conservative president in your lifetime?

Maybe if you're 8.

You're incapable of answering questions using your open thoughts. Not a sign of intelligence.

And the media intentionally has kept the spotlight almost exclusively on Trump. The string pullers of the left want him to be the guy. He can't win.

The "he can't win" lamentation needs to just go away. He's winning literally in every major poll in every battleground vs. the Dems puppet candidate who is nearly universally hated. There are zero major policy issues the Democrats can run on. Over the next few months the GOP/America will unify behind the Trump ticket, imho.

Doesn't matter who he "endorsed" the Dems have just been handed another 4 years of screwing us over on a silver platter

DeSantis endorsed Trump, but this helps Nikki as well.

Now it's a two-person race, and many Never-Trumpers who were supporting DeSantis will just as likely go to Nikki as they will - albeit while hiding their noses - Trump.

Regardless, Biden and the Dems could not be happier because DeSantis was the biggest threat to Biden getting a second term.

Nikki will be a threat, to a degree, and Trump, well, maybe in Trump's and maga's mind, but to the left, not so much.

1) Who do you think is conducting the polls? That's right the liberal MSM who wants to convince you Trump is the only choice

2) and thanks to Trump they don't have to worry about the issues and get to make the election 100% about "Orange Man Bad! Look at all the legal charges against Orange Man!"

3) It doesn't matter because Independents decide elections and they have been permanently poisoned against Trump

This is beyond wrong and stupid or is a troll. All you saw was someone questioning dear leader. Probably couldn't understand the issues.

Just following the lead of the apparent leader of the GOP. Apparently it's perfectly fine when he says it but not anyone else.

The fact that we got Trump vs Biden again shows how awful our political system is. Doesn't matter who wins, both will executive order and spend us into oblivion.

And after that, they'll start going after other Republicans that won't bend the knee to Trump.

Amazing that they keep attacking from the left...

Ahh. So you are just way more intelligent. You need help.

It cracks me up that you can vote against insufficient conservatism, but you absolutely cannot vote against excessive liberalism. Truly enlightened.

By not voting for either lib, I am showing I am smarter and enlightened. Thanks for agreeing.

It's a sad time when the country rejects someone who could actually effectively govern and turn this country around.

I'll vote for Trump in the general as I did in 2016 and 2020 but this time I won't be contributing any money to his campaign - I'm not paying for his legal fees.

I have no doubt Trump will lose the general by continuing to say and do stupid things that will drive independents and suburban women back to Biden even though they know Biden is incompetent and his policies will hurt them economically.

Wonderful.

Would it somehow be better if they were a different race?

Good point... I was going somewhere else with my statement when I started it, but lost interest.

They just 2 old geezers in my book.

(and for Trump, I suppose I should've said orange)

Fair enough and I feel the same way. Unbelievable that we're down to two octogenarians.

I'm expecting turnout to the primaries to reach an all-time low once Hally bails in February.

This is the HUGE problem looming not just for Trump, but for the GOP. MAGA may donate, but Not Trump won't. Which means a small pool of money for the general...for the down ballot candidates included.

Your absolutely on point.

Unfortunately it's a problem Trump himself has created by putting his personal interests above the country's interest.

Trump is all about himself and to hell with the party, the downstream candidates and the country.
